Re: So, the world didn't end said by fifty nine:So it's essentially a deadlock and no one will know for sure until everyone is on their final assignments. And the only way to do that is to get on with the transition. Agree - Once everything simmers down after conversion stations will reevaluate coverage area and decide if it makes sense to make changes to equipment or install translators. Personally I hope they do because even with high quality outdoor antenna and preamp there are several DTV stations that are marginal for us. In fairness they were also stations that were snowy in analog.
By that time FCC will have real world experience with DTV interference problems. That will give them information they need to set maximum ERP transmit power levels.
